I agree with the previous review. Since this was the first tale of Iljimae that I have seen, I thought it was awesome. I also recommend to judge for yourself the quality of the drama.

I agree with the previous review. Since this was the first tale of Iljimae that I have seen, I thought it was awesome. I also recommend to judge for yourself the quality of the drama. I really enjoyed the acting since the actors really brought forward the characters emotion creating a smooth and intense story. I also enjoyed that the story did not drag as it can happen in some dramas. I thought the story did not rest but kept me as a watcher absorbed into what was going to happen next. And of course for those of you that always seek the romance, the love stories developed in here were just wonderful, both sad and hopeful.

I hope you also find the magic of this drama and enjoy the 24+hrs to watch. But as said before, if you've seen the previous one leave the story to the side so that you can really enjoy the series.

Most people like the SBS one because it's a bit more fun. But MBC made this one more true to the story. If you set aside the SBS version, you would like this one. It's long and it drags on parts a lot but I'd say overall it is a good drama.

I didnt like it at all,except the first 10 minutes,in the modern world..At first I thought it was awesome,because it was in the modern world.Then when it came to the part that,it went back to time,thay was when I didnt like it.I really think that they need to put it in chronological order,I didnt understand because it was all over the place...for example...at first ir was in the modern world,then ...

If you're coming here because you saw the other Iljimae and loved it, it's awful in comparison. If you saw the other and thought this was a sequel, it's not. The sped of up fight scenes envolving Iljimae are unrealistic. (yes, even for an unrealistic drama). The other Iljimae did this to some degree, but it wasn't a blur of the camera shaking around, losing focus and video randomly when ...

There is also problems with the video synch in multiple episodes.

I realize that it isn't fair to compare dramas.. but after seeing the other I cant help but do it. The characters in this drama are the hardest to appreciate and care about out of all the Korean dramas that I have watched. If you don't care about the characters, you got nothing. I find myself at episode 15 bored and and continually through the series fast fowarding.

When I watched other dramas I expected a certain amount of drama/romance without fight scenes.. When I heard of Iljimae I expected more of an action with some romance. It reminds me of a love story rather than an action hero. The main characters serious nature and lack of expression is tiring.

The characters lack depth and are one dimensional. The plot looks like it could be good for a couple episodes near the beginning. However, there is not a strong plot. This is the worst drama. Maybe it will change later. However, I've watched enough that at this point it should have been good if it was going to be.

There's two main characters that are comical and that love Iljimae. At first they're a little endearing. After several episodes they're boring. A 16 year old playing a little kids part?

If you are not familiar with the story of Iiljimae, You may like this video, However, it is based on the tale of a thief called iiljimae. it was just another version to see for me since I saw the Other Illjimae drama which i thought was awesume. This is more of a modern narrated version with extended story line . The difference being in this one he became a father while in the other, it was just ...

This is more of a modern narrated version with extended story line . The difference being in this one he became a father while in the other, it was just another adopted son who was taken in after iiljimae's (so called death). I think it was would've been great if I didn't already seen the other version. But don't take my word for it.. See for yourselves n make that judgement.
